The Canadian Impact Assessment Act and intersectional analysis
Canada's newly adopted Impact Assessment Act requires gender‐based analysis plus (GBA+)—a type of intersectionality mainstreaming—as part of assessing the impacts of resource projects. This explicit inclusion of a GBA+ requirement in legislation for the first time represents an important advance in Canada's commitments to mainstreaming, and one that offers an opportunity to examine how interested policy actors both enable and challenge mainstream…
Expanding evidence and expertise in impact assessment
Globally, the impacts of natural resource development raise concerns about the often disproportionate and negative consequences experienced by Indigenous Peoples, women, and girls. We know far less about the consequences for other often-invisible community members – such as women and girls with disabilities, youth, and people who identify as LGBTQ2S+. Further, promising practices for attending to affected communities’ diverse needs and experience…
The Canadian Senate
Growing mainstream awareness of tensions surrounding Indigenous rights and recent political movement to promote reconciliation suggest that the time might be ripe to revisit some of the most important ideas for strengthening Indigenous Peoples’ place and space within the Canadian federation, particularly within the country’s central political institutions. This article argues that the Canadian Senate has the potential to be an important instituti…
Nelisiwe Xaba
Nelisiwe Xaba has spent her career creating and touring works between South Africa and the Global North. Signature elements of her work include small-scale formats (solos, duets, trios), the use of objects that blur the distinction between costume and set, the repurposing of everyday materials, and the deliberate play with the performer’s and spectators’ gaze. In this cluster of articles writers based in South Africa, Germany, and the US explore …
Cross-Viewing in Berlin and Chicago
Viewing Nelisiwe Xaba’s Fremde Tänze (2014) in Berlin and Chicago revealed differing levels of meaning in the work. In Berlin the work exposed and parodied the white gaze of the black female dancer, while in Chicago the work vivified the gap between the responses of black and white spectators. The reception of Fremde Tänze in the two cities demonstrates the workings of “cross-viewing,” the moments when spectators from distinct social locations wa…
Contrasting colonisations
The island of Newfoundland/Ktaqmkuk is the traditional territory of the Mi’kmaq and Beothuk people. However, this truth is rarely acknowledged in the official and popular stories of the island as place. In Newfoundland, dominant stories construct a particular sense of the island as place, which often work to displace and ignore the histories and experiences of Indigenous Newfoundlanders, especially the large population of Mi’kmaq people living on…
Collaborative Poetic Processes
This article illustrates how the author engaged in a collaborative poetry-making process with two participants, Margaret and Mary, in this feminist qualitative research study exploring women’s experiences of displacement, as loss of sense of place, in Newfoundland, Canada. The author evaluates some of the key successes of this type of process, including credible representation of participants’ experiences and reciprocity in the research process, …
It’s the best place on Earth’
This article explores Newfoundland women’s experiences of outmigration as a gendered process of displacement. Experiences of displacement can provide significant insight into Newfoundland and Labrador’s fractured political relationship with the nation of Canada. This article argues that Newfoundland outmigration must be viewed through the lenses of diaspora and intersectionality, as nationalist sentiment and the province’s peripheral place within…
Intersectionality in resource extraction
This article uses the lens of intersectionality to analyze secondary data gathered by international human rights organizations investigating women’s experiences of sexual violence near Barrick Gold’s mine in the Porgera valley of Papua New Guinea. This case study provides an example of how an intersectional framework can be useful to feminist researchers exploring North–South power relationships in the context of resource extraction, by helping u…
Uneasy intersections
Using the lens of intersectionality in development policy and programming can help policy-makers and practitioners account for the unacknowledged biases and structural power relationships that contribute to the exclusion of women with disabilities and other marginalised groups from development initiatives. Using Canada's maternal health initiatives as a case study, we adopt an intersectional lens to make visible how legacies of forced sterilisati…

On the Making of Moses(es)
Reggie Wilson’s creative process in making Moses(es) is charted from the perspective of the dramaturg: his research into seemingly disparate topics, which became surprisingly interrelated over time; his use of found movement in the studio; and his refusal to tell spectators how to interpret his dance
Zora, Zar, Ohad, and Nubia
Extensive research memos written for choreographer Reggie Wilson informed the making of Moses(es). The excerpts here encompass such topics as writer and folklorist Zora Neale Hurston, Wilson’s relationship with his early mentor Ohad Naharin, anthropological literature on the possession ritual Zar, and Nubia as a crossroads in Africa

Reggie Wilson in Conversation
Reggie Wilson talks with Susan Manning about growing up in Milwaukee, moving to New York to study at Tisch/NYU’s dance department, and developing his signature choreographic approach amidst the flourishing of black and white postmodernisms in the 1980s and 1990s
Reggie Wilson and the Traditions of American Dance
The significance of Reggie Wilson’s research-to-performance method within the canons of American dance arises from the way his distinctive approach confounds critical categories, blurring the divide between Black Dance and black postmodernism. Is his work too postmodernist for advocates of Black Dance and too Black for advocates of postmodernism
Inside/Beside Dance Studies
In 2012, Susan Manning, Rebecca Schneider, and Janice Ross collaborated across their home institutions of Northwestern University, Brown University, and Stanford University, respectively, to found a research initiative interrogating the field of dance studies. This manifold project, Dance Studies in/and the Humanities, receives funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation through 2015 and includes a series of public roundtable discussions. This c…

An American Perspective on Tanztheater

In addition, two versions previously overlooked have surfaced, bringing the n…

Balanchine's two productions of the seven deadly sins, 1933 and 1958
It is a commonplace that the range and complexity of George Balanchine's choreographic career find scant precedence in the history of Western theatre dance. Although much has been-and is being-written about the man and his work beyond the continuing tradition of perceptive stylistic analysis exemplified by Lincoln Kirstein and Edwin Denby, the contours of Balanchine's achievement remain largely uncharted. Scholars have yet to fully assess his oeu…

Le Sacre du Printemps
Terpsichore in Combat Boots
To keep this reply brief I will dispense with a detailed account of various quotations taken out of context and of numerous historical and critical inaccuracies. (To cite only one procedural instance, Manning repeatedly refers to a rewritten or revised introduction to the I987 edition of Terpsichore in Sneakers; but as any reader can immediately tell-especially since it is spelled out in the 1987 preface-the 1980 introduction stands intact, and t…

The Puritan-Provincial Vision
German Rites revisited
Additional research into productions of Le Sacre du Printemps on the German stage confirms my earlier thesis that choreographers staged Sacre during periods of heightened tension between 'classical' and 'modern' styles on the German dance stage.' Although no reviews of Marion Hermann's 1931 production in Frankfurt have come to light, it is possible to locate her staging of Sacre within the broader contours of her career. As a child she studied at…
The National Stage
idea of staging a nation dates from the Enlightenment, but the full force of the idea emerges only with the rise of mass politics. Comparing English, French, and American attempts to establish national theatres at moments of political crisis from the challenge of socialism in late nineteenth-century Europe to the struggle to salvage democracy in Depression America Kruger poses a fundamental question: in the formation of nationhood, is the citizen…
Ecstasy and the Demon
Mary Wigman, Germany's premier modern dancer between the two world wars, envisioned the dancer in the thrall of ecstatic and demonic forces. Transforming the performer into an abstract configuration of energy in space, her works subverted the traditional eroticization of the female dancer. Critics in her own time and historians since have hailed her as a major innovator of dance modernism. What commentators have not acknowledged until recently, h…
[Letter from Loren Kruger]
Industry and Idleness in Colonial Virginia
The inception of American regionalism is routinely identified by scholars in either Robert Beverley or William Byrd II, both native Virginians who wrote intensely local works ( The History and Present State of Virginia, 1705 ; The History of the Dividing Line Betwixt Virginia and North Carolina, Run in the Year of Our Lord 1728 ) which are amongst the enduring literary products of colonial America. The regional base of both works is immediately a…
